Gabriel Kreuther Restaurant, NYC. Inspired by the timber homes of Alsace, reclaimed wood beams surround the dining room, creating an elegant yet relaxed setting for Chef Kreuther's inspired fare.

From the curved, platinum-colored ceiling hang 42 crystal storks flying east toward Kreuther's native Strasbourg. Hand-painted wall coverings, one-of-a-kind art and cream-colored banquettes add sophistication and warmth to the room.
